General Acrylics rebuilt the existing 6 courts and added a 7th. They are constructed with post-tensioned concrete to provide a crack resistant and extremely durable court. New fencing, professional lighting, retaining walls and landscaping were part of the renovation project.
Fencing
Per USTA regulations and American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) standards, there should be no obstructions within 12’ of the doubles playing lines. This will be a factor in divider fencing and light pole locations when the courts are less than 60’ in width.
Asphalt Paving
Traditionally running track ovals have been constructed of hot mix asphalt paving. This was typically chosen over the concrete option due to lower initial cost of installation. Very soon asphalt begins to deteriorate and structural cracks, heaving and settling begins to appear. This often means that the track needs to be completely removed and replaced even before the synthetic surface has reached the end of its usable life.
Retaining Walls
The District 11 school district in Colorado Springs, CO has been enjoying an Astroturf synthetic football field for several years. In the summer of 2016, they hired General Acrylics once again to install a new Astroturf soccer/lacrosse field alongside the football field at Garry Berry Stadium. The project was a huge success and included not only the new soccer field installation but many supplemental scopes that improved the overall athletic facility for the school and district. General Acrylics, along with local architects and engineers, designed a state of the art facility that now includes improvements to the track and field events as well (shot put and discus events are now in close proximity, making it more user friendly for spectators and athletes). In order to get the soccer field and throwing events within the NFHS and ASBA requirements, there were many modifications made during the construction phase to meet proper tolerances/slopes and to make sure drainage was functional. Although a very challenging scope from start to finish, the end result is gorgeous and we couldn’t be prouder of this installation! There are several areas where landscape turf was installed too (including a pedestrian viewing hill) and we even installed new chain link fence and decorative retaining walls. This one truly showcased all of our abilities.
